Anyone know how I can re-create the delay sound/textures from a band like Angles & Airwaves (or some coldplay and U2) in Live 5?

Any help would be dope.

post an example? short samples aren't illegal and you can take it down later.

one trick is to reverse the sample, re-sample the effected sound with delay then play it forward again, same for reverbs.

You can check out aen example at http://www.myspace.com/angelsandairwaves and listen to either The Adventur or Do It For Me Now.

Thanks.

listening to 'adventure', the delay part at the end? That's the same trick The Police used for 'Every Breath You Take', set the delay to the same rate that you're palm muting the strings and play in time with the delay, you get a rich doubling up of tones.

U2 does the same thing, just play in time with the delay, it leaves the dead space in between and sounds cool.

yea... i can create it with a delay pedal and my tele, im just curious if anyone knows how I can recreate that in Live with its instruments... any thoughts?

a delay plug in and a guitar, same thing, just with software. there's a tap tempo button on the Live window and with simple delay you can set delay to exact musical intervals. Set it to a 1/4 note on left and right, delay to 30%, turn off the internet and play with it a while. Playing like that is great practice, you have to stay in time.
